While face painting must be on hiatus during this phase of the pandemic, balloons are very much available! I can create personalized table top or floor centerpiece/decor items to celebrate graduations, birthdays, showers, etc. This video was for a birthday event that had a “sea theme”.

Happy July!
Lately when people say they want things to get back to normal, I’m sort of scratching my head to remember what that means. Perhaps that’s a good thing. Maybe we have the opportunity to reinvent “normal” in a better way. I have friends that are loving working from home. Meetings are shorter because everyone is […]
An Opinion Piece
What an extraordinary time this has been for the world. To those who have lost friends and family, my heart and prayers go out to you. I know this has been devastating for many – from the loss of loved ones, the loss of jobs, money, in many cases homes. Watching the news is disheartening […]

Retirement – Even a Good Thing Can Be Stressful
In my last post, I mentioned how surprised I was by my feelings around retirement. Right up to the day I walked out the door – and into my first week, I’ve been shocked at the level of anxiety and tears that seem to spring from nowhere when least expected. This was something I NEVER […]
